Mushroom forming in PF-TEK jar
    #27098868 - 12/20/20 07:29 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hi guys,

I followed this tutorial with my Cubensis B+.

For one jar I had no lid, so I taped foil around it. That jar is now, a couple of days before colonization is complete, fruiting. I attached a picture.




My question, after searching online with no satisfactory result, is: What should I do if I wish to keep that fruiting body? Should I either birth the cake or open the lid so the mushroom can grow out?

Thanks everyone for considering my question.

Thanks, Groo.

I have to admit, your laconism is on-point. Yet I have to reassure myself in one aspect: By "peel mushroom", do you mean that I should cut the fruiting body from the mycelium even though it is not mature yet? I would do it if there's no safer way to safe the cake as whole, but if possible, I'd rather save the mushroom.

I'm a first-timer (duh!) and I'm not after quantity (which is why I'm using PF-TEK) and I'd rather see a single usable mushroom than none at all.

If you can get it out of the jar without it breaking it will keep growing.

Thanks!

I wonder, though, if I can safely birth the cake even though colonization is not complete yet.

If colonization isn't complete and it has started fruiting it could be because of contams. It usually is when your jar starts pinning before 100%. Imo you should just birth it. It ain't gonna reach it's full potential cooped up in the jar.
